Most mornings I ride the bus into the office rather than compete for road space, parking and sanity with all the other motorists out there. I find this a wonderful chance to read and respond to mail or to catch up on other documents I am required to read. Most of us know that to do this we need a mail client which downloads, ie pop mail. But what about blogs! It is all well and good to read your favorite blogs at their respective websites but not so good when you are "on-bus" and not “on-line”.

Welcome to RSS, or "Really Simple Syndication". Nearly all blogs and many websites now support a feature called RSS which allows you to subscribe to websites and blogs you are interested in. This in tern allows you to aggregate all of your RSS feeds into a single reader. This is pretty much like having your own custom news/magazine prepared for your every morning!!! Great for "on-bus" reading.

So go to Wikipedia and look up RSS and explore from there!!! .... oh and subscribe to my blog too!!

Glad to hear you're using your bus time productively! No more gazing at crap bus ads and guessing the private lives of other passengers.

I've found the free RSS reader/manager at Blogexplosion (http://www.blogexplosion.com/)to be pretty good, easy to use etc etc.

Hey, didn't know you were into them too

Too many secrets, you are giving away. I guess we all have them. Some, however, are best kept.

xooxxo

PS you taking the bus is an admirably green approach to transport.

Now all we need to do is use no air-con, have cold showers, eliminate plastic, sell our cars...I'm sure there's plenty more.

Tho' I have a sneaking suspicion that politicians' hot air and lies are the greatest contribution to our global warming experience.

Hhmmmph.
